2024

Artist Comments
Waves crash gently onto a sandy shore, blending hues of white and gray. The sky transitions from a stormier shade to a light, muted blue. The horizon stretches far into the distance, creating a sense of vastness and tranquility. Subtle brushstrokes enhance the calming ambiance of the coastal scene.

About the Artist
Artist Cara Gonier creates atmospheric abstract landscapes and seascapes. Her minimalist approach highlights the subtle interplay of tones and textures, inviting viewers to embark on their interpretive journey. Despite receiving some formal training, Cara's creative drive is primarily intuitive. "My compositions and desire to paint are fueled by inner inspiration," says Cara. Her creative process involves layering multiple carefully chosen pigments, both transparent and opaque, to add literal and figurative depth to her works. Cara works in her small, tidy home studio near the Atlantic Ocean. While she lives near such a majestic body of water, her artworks remain universal and open to interpretation rather than depicting specific locales. Beyond painting, she integrates art into every aspect of her life, viewing life itself as an artistic journey.
